Break Your Feet in New Shoes
New shoes is like new boyfriend, you gotta give it sometime to feel cosy with it. Women all have the bitter experience of breaking in with new leather shoes.
You gotta give it time. Since the shoes are young and getting used to their new parent, you have to play with them and talk to them a lot. Soothingly. Bathe them in the finest powdered condensed milks and the slickest, vanilla scented personal lubricants. Hourly. In a few months, you’ll have a nice, obedient pair of soft shoes.
Treat problem areas. With sandals and high heels, an edge or seam may painfully rub against the foot. But there is an easy home remedy, “Use an emery board to rub down a rough edge,” “Or take a white candle and rub the wax onto [the problem spot] to soften the leather, whether it’s inside a boot heel or a sandal.” Leather conditioner or saddle soap also might work, although not quite as effectively.
